@toddarcher: With their 6-0 win against the Eagles, the Cowboys posted their first shutout since the 2009 season finale against Philadelphia. Those Cowboys finished 11-5 and won a playoff game. These Cowboys finished 9-7 and will miss the playoffs. With the win Jason Garrett avoided his fourth 8-8 finish in seven seasons as Cowboys coach.
@toddarcher: With the season complete, what have the 9-7 Cowboys learned? “If you don’t win close games, if you don’t make plays, all of a sudden you can become an average football team,” linebacker Sean lee said. “Winning can be fragile. And you have to have great offseasons. We have to have all of our guys and we’ve got to play the right way through the entire season. if we do that, we are a team that can compete for a championship.”
